Opequon (also formerly know as Frog Eye) at least is very much around still, an historic crossroads with a handful of very fine and old buildings, roughly central in Frederick County, located about 2.5 miles southwest of Winchester, Va. along the Cedar Creek Grade (Rt. 622, formerly Cartmell Road.) As for Canterbury, I'm not sure. There is a Canterburg, or a cluster of associated place names, but in the southeast corner of Frederick County ( roughly 2 miles east of Middletown and two miles south of Stephens City.) R.

James and Alcinda had one son Meredith O. Hudson born in September 1868 and Meredith had at least three sons Floyd Oliver born 1898, Richard born about 1901 and Roy born about 1903. I would very much like to contact any descendants of this family. I am the great granddaughter of James' brother Robert. J.

VA Will Book 1-9 covering the years1743-1816 I do not see the names you are looking for, but their are other Davis mentions. On the Peck family, interesting posting in connection with the will of James Allnutt of Mongtomery Co. MD, his will dated 17 May 1786, probated 1 May 1798. He mentioned one of his 5 daughters as: Mary PECK (wife of Richard) they were to have a portion of his estate named "Thomas Discovery" in MD. So you might have to do research in that area of MD.
